Kale Chips
This is an easy recipe for kale chips. The leaves are massaged with olive oil then seasoned with vinegar and baked until crispy, crunchy, and delicious! I used Spanish sherry vinegar, but any vinegar you like the flavor of will work. I checked every 10 minutes or so and turned some pieces over. I didn't mind if there were a few softer parts on some of the kale leaves, I liked the combination of crisp and softer parts.

Crispy Zucchini or Pumpkin Blossoms
My Italian grandmother makes these every year when the zucchini in her garden start to blossom. She is Sicilian and calls them "cripelli." It's sort of like a fritter and so yummy. As an alternative, you could also chop up the blossoms and mix them up in the batter and drop by teaspoons into the hot oil.
